Glioblastoma brain tumor

7. I'm so, so sorry!

You have both my sympathy and my empathy. My husband had cancer, so I know how hard this can be.

I don't want to be presumptuous, but have you looked into your son going on a ketogenic diet? When my husband was sick, we learned that many cancers can be controlled, if not actually cured, by staying in ketosis. There was one study of a person who had controlled their brain cancer (I don't now remember the type) for a full decade by stringently following a ketogenic diet. Their cancer didn't really shrink much, as I recall, but it no longer grew.

A ketogenic diet can also work well as an adjunct therapy to chemo and/or radiation.

There are a couple of clinical trials looking into glioblastomas and ketogenic diet that are currently recruiting. But you could probably, perhaps with the aid of a dietician, do this yourself.

If you're interested, I'd be happy to send you some pubmed links. And to answer any questions to the best of my ability, of course.

I wish you and your son all the best.
